Cricket match prediction discussions

The Ireland vs Pakistan match has taken an interesting turn. Pakistan were in the driver's seat for most part of the match, forcing Ireland to follow on and taking control of the match. However, a century from O'Brien has helped Ireland wipe out the deficit and they are right now 139 runs ahead with 3 wickets in hand. If they add another 40-50 runs to their score, it could become very interesting.

Tables might be turning up. Bad captaincy by Sarfaraz Ahmed throughout the innings. Wrong field placements, drop of catches, and other amateur-ish behavior of Pakistani players is ruining the matching for them.

After watching Pakistani players making a hell lot of mistakes throughout the match (specially the current innings), I don't know how they're going to even face England in upcoming matches.

Now this match is turning in favor of home side as they done great job and take full advantage of Sarfaraz Ahmed's poor captaincy now in my view they can win this match as last inning is never been easy for Pakistan right now they have no batsman who can stay and give them good stand for this match as they are playing I am sure in England they are going to be very badly down and out

Before this commercialism Cricket was very good and gentlemen game but now its very dirty because most of players going for good money not giving 100% spot fixing is also very big issue right now which is bringing down very quickly this good game but no one can do this right now as all going for money

The main reason for commercialism of cricket in India is because of the cricket craze the entire country has and the advertisers found this as an opportunity to make use of this cricket craze, spot fixing might be new, but match fixing in cricket is there for decades, in the early and mid 90s there was a time when some of the people i know knew in which over a wicket would fall even before a ball is bowled and during that time gambling was done through phone calls, what i am telling is that it is not new.

I think Pakistan has underestimated Ireland as being the new team at test match cricket and thought that they might get an easy win however Ireland has shown that they are capable of putting up a fight and may even win or come close to winning this test match. If Ireland can get a 200 run lead it would be tough for Pakistan to chase it down.

If Ireland gets more than 200 runs lead, then either they will win the match, or it will end up in a draw. But one of the disadvantages Ireland may face is that they lack a quality spinner for the fourth innings. But then again, the chances of an Irish lead of 200+ is now very slim, after Kevin O'Brien got out.

Imam-ul-Haq really saved Pakistan. At somewhat like 10 for 3, Pakistanis were looking like they're done for, but then, partnership of Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam saved the game.

Now the 2 test series is beginning in Lord's, London from 24th May between England and Pakistan. This series is literally something for which I'm real excited.

Ireland had their moments in this test match. In both innings, they managed to get a few quick Pakistani top order wickets. A more experienced team may have been able to sustain the pressure and make inroads into the match. They definitely look more at ease in tests compared to Bangladesh in their initial test matches.

Ireland has some great players in the shorter format and they need to have exposure in test to develop a strong team, Bangladesh had a really bad team for many years which were not even competitive in international cricket for years, but now they have a fairly strong line up, they are really strong at home as they have some great spinners and in the coming years will dominate outside the continent too, to be the best team they need to have really good bowler who are able to pick twenty wickets and if they can find some good talents they will be competitive.

Ireland had a pretty good test match debut as they had their moments in this test match and really took the fight up to Pakistan but just couldn't get that 200 run lead that might of seen them win the match or at least draw. I must give credit to Pakistan for fighting back after losing those early wickets which put them under a lot of pressure. Lucky they had Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam who batted well to give them the win. I can't see Pakistan doing to good against England but hopefully they can put up a fight and make it a good test match series.

What a massive victory for kkr where rr is still isn't really in a bad spot winning this would have been really important for them but again props to kkr they are really close for qualifying all they have to do now is win the next match against srh which won't be easy for them but they have to win else mi might steal their spot

Yaa it a was a very fighting performance from the Ireland in their first ever international test match and against a very good team.Specially kevin o Brian made a brilliant hundred.Yes if they could got a lead of 200 then they could have won as well..but none the less good fight from them

Personally, I has always wanted RCB to win IPL. They even got some exceptional players but I think there is lack of coordination among the players. You can always feel that if you watch their performance on the filed. Even with so many big names, they always disappoint me. Regarding matches being fixed, it has nothing to do with their current salary.

Except Kohli and ABD, other players are letting down the team. Virat Kohli should support & motivate his team mates; he should bring out the best performances from his team members. There are few wrong decisions taken by the captain kohli and he should avoid it in the future.

Now the team performance improved last 2 games they played superbly especially last game. there run rate is positive so if they win remaining games still they have a chance to qualify playoffs, i want to see them in finals.

Mumbai Indians are playing really well...scoring fast runs but on the same time loosing quick wickets as well...there are now 154/6 in 16 overs and pollard played a brilliant knock in his comeback match scoring fifty of just 23 balls..i think mumbai will reach close to 190

MI finally made 186 runs in their 20 overs. After long time Pollard made some runs and smashed a 23 ball fifty to help Mumbai bowlers to defend this score. If Punjab has to win this match top 3 batsman someone has to make quick 50 to help the team achieve this target.

Yeah winning this match is important for either of the teams though if mi losses this there chance for qualifying is over as punjab and kkr will have 14 points and they will have 1 match left but will have only 10 points so it's impossible for them to qualify , till now punjab has been playing good it's going to be a interesting match

[juliepower]

The match between Mumbai Indians and Kings eleven punjab is looking very very interesting right now...60 runs needed in the last 30 balls..and punjab has only lost 1 wicket so far...anything can happen right now but i am backing punjab to win

KL rahul has won the orange cap but tought luck for him because he missed his century and also was not able to get punjab over the line as well.I think they left it for too late and they should have been aggressive from 10th over

Punjab had a very good chance to progress in to the play-offs, but they wasted the opportunity. For the past 3-4 matches, their form has been horrible. At this point, I was 90% sure that KXIP was going to win. Yet, they lost the match as a result of reckless shot selection.
